    200 – Michael Clary on Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth

Chase sits down with pastor and author Michael Clary to talk through his new book Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth (Canon Press). Michael diagnoses a malady in the modern church — a "fortune-cookie" spirituality that dresses up passivity as holiness, treats giving up power as the heart of the gospel, and conditions Christians (especially men) to be doormats. Chase and Michael, who go back to their Acts 29 days, dig into the sound-bite theology of Keller, Russell Moore, and Beth Moore, the difference between gentle-and-lowly and firm-and-direct pastoral care, and a whole-Bible reading of the hard sayings — turn the other cheek, servant of all, do not resist the evildoer — that refuses both wooden literalism and liberal escape hatches. The positive vision: high agency Christianity, rooted in the creation mandate and the Great Commission, that recovers authority, dominion, and courage as gifts to be stewarded rather than idols to be surrendered. Whether you’ve felt the dissonance and couldn’t name it or you’re ready to fight it, this one will put steel in your spine.

Chase sits down with Dr. Charles Cornish-Dale — the Oxford- and Cambridge-trained historian known online as Raw Egg Nationalist — to talk through his provocative new book, The Last Men: Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity. They trace Charlie's unlikely path from medieval church historian to one of the most influential voices in the MAHA movement, and dig into his central thesis: that liberalism itself is a low-testosterone system, that endocrine disruptors and processed food are quietly reshaping men, and that Francis Fukuyama's "last man" is now a physiological reality. Along the way they wrestle with the Christian temptation to divorce body from soul, Nietzsche's critique of Christianity as a slave morality, the guilty conscience, Christian vitalism, and whether the church still has the vitality to fight. Whether you're deep in this conversation already or skeptical of the whole thing, this one will sharpen you.

Chase sits down with Isaac Botkin of T.REX ARMS and author of Path of Liberty for a wide-ranging conversation on the biblical foundations of self-defense, the strange world of GunTube, why John Piper is wrong about home defense, what red flag laws actually do to common law, Protestant resistance theory and the 250th anniversary of America, and why AI is the new gunpowder. They get into Palantir, decentralization, the future of corporate America, and whether the citizenry is virtuous enough to handle the tools coming our way.

Chase sits down with Connor Tomlinson — British commentator, writer, and former Lotus Eaters host — for a wide-ranging conversation on the collapse of the United Kingdom and the political insurgency rising to meet it.

Then they dig into the recent local elections, the difference between Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain, why Keir Starmer is the most hated prime minister on record but refuses to leave, the House of Lords, and whether the King could actually do anything to save the country.

Alex serves with ABWE as Director of Communications, leads as an elder at Faith Bible Fellowship Church of York, and writes at the intersection of missions theology and cultural engagement. In this conversation, Chase and Alex work through one of the most contested and misunderstood concepts in modern Christianity: the ordo amoris, or the order of loves. Drawing on Scripture, Augustine, and the deep wells of Christian tradition, Alex makes the case that love is not flat—it is hierarchical, particular, and purposeful. They discuss how every current culture war issue is, at root, a question of disordered love; why the Good Samaritan parable actually supports rather than undermines ordered love; what a nation truly is and why it matters for both missions and politics; and why a missionary's love for the nations must be grounded in a genuine love for their own nation and people. Alex also responds to key objections—from progressives who claim the concept is unbiblical, to nationalists who want to abandon foreign missions altogether—and explains why he wrote the book to produce "missionaries with the heart of an activist and activists with the heart of a missionary."

    193 - Why I Wrote Offensive Christianity

    Order “Offensive Christianity” here - https://press.founders.org/shop/offensive-christianity/ jchasedavis.com Support the show!! - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavis Summary In this episode, I discuss my new book, 'Offensive Christianity,' which addresses the crisis of masculinity in the church and society. I explore the challenges men face today, including the feminization of faith and the need for biblical manhood. I emphasize the importance of men stepping into leadership roles in their homes, churches, and communities, and advocate for a return to a more historically rooted understanding of manhood. I also touch on practical applications for men, endorsements of the book, and the call for Christians to engage culture offensively.
